Heath H.totenrd, By firlef. ' 1
Tha death of Colonel Booserelt is
believed by his physicians to have been
hastened by grief over Quentin's death,
coupled with Mixiety over the serious
jWounds surTored by Capt. Archie Roose
velt. Ho was proud of Uia soldier sons
and their heroism but be was a devoted
father and he (rrieved for 'he one who
(rave his life for lis country, as well
as for the other' who was wounded.
He hid his suffering; from the world,
however, in the hope that , he might
t n ciainple for other fathers and
mothers wao had given their sons to
the nation.

To the last Colonel Boosevelt hnd

possible that life had ended so snd

had, wielded ,tho Vbig stick''' so fear

General March stated that General
Pershing had advised him that the
Thirtieth division hail been assigned
for earlv convoy. However, the date
of the sailing of any division of troops
ia not knotn in Washington until the
soldiers are aboard ships for America.
This contingency precluibs any definite

The Thirtieth Division will likely be
demobilized at Camps JXekaon, U or

might be such at the time of the ar

other ramps would have to b selected
for demobilization. This factor would
